Such behaviour could be start of serious issue? (8)
I believe the answer is:
sedition
'such behaviour' is the definition.
'sedition' can be an answer for 'behaviour' (I have seen 'Revolting behaviour' mean 'sedition' so perhaps 'behaviour' could also mean 'sedition'). I am not sure about the 'such' bit.
'start of serious issue?' is the wordplay.
'start of' says to take the initial letters.
'issue?' becomes 'edition' (edition is a kind of issue).
The first letter of 'serious' is 's'.
's'+'edition'='SEDITION'
'could be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedition that I've seen before include "Incitement to riot" , "Subversive activity" , "agitation" , "revolt" , "Stirring up of rebellion or disorder" .)
